So I went into a dealership telling them I was going to lease a particular vehicle (Subaru) so that way I would have the option to sell it at any time to a Carvana-type 3rd party dealer and they proceeded to tell me some story about how I couldn't do 3rd party lease buyouts with Subaru and that the rules recently changed, which is all completely false.
They told me i would have to buy my lease out before selling it, which would make me liable for the entire sales tax when the truth is that I would only have paid tax on the depreciation and then pocketed the difference selling it since 3rd party dealers are sales tax exempt, which was my original plan. I ended up just financing it because of their incorrect info.
So I called a day later and told them I checked again and Subaru still allows 3rd party lease buyouts and that this never changed recently like the finance manager tried to tell me. The general sales manager told me there was nothing they could do, to enjoy my new car and that I could also have backed out of the deal and never signed. I told him small claims court was also an option and then he offered to switch me to a lease but said they would need me to take out a separate loan for the lease in addition to my finance loan and then they would remove the finance loan within 15-30 days.
On a side note, they have refused to answer simple questions about MF on the lease deal and have been dragging their feet almost like they don't actually want to do this so I may just keep this as is and try suing them in small claims for misrepresentation or fraud. Even if I don't win I just really don't like the way they are treating me.
